Even if this is how anglo-saxons actually function, i still will blame this trash for depicting it.
A generic kid allegory something something film. The protagonist is terrible dangerous mentally unstable irresponsible violent delusional psychopath who deserve soviet punishment psychiatry. He should’ve asked to lock himself up, after he realized that he is having hallucinations resulting in property damage. On top of it, the actor’s speech is half incomprehensible, so it is really hard to follow the plot. Even Neeson’s VO has so much PFX, that it’s not crystal clear either.

The story is built around some kind of pretentious moral, which is unfocused and not very intelligible. None of the coolstories have anything to say, and most of them don’t even make sense. Moreover, the last scene is kind of cancels the supposed moral of the story entirely.
